Methodology

How do we get internal teams to trust the footprint numbers?

Make the method, data sources, assumptions and limitations visible. Trust grows when teams can understand how results were calculated and when to use them.

Full answer

Internal trust is often the first barrier to using footprint data. Sustainability, sales, product and management teams may all ask different questions about the same result.

 

Clear methodology, consistent rules and transparent assumptions make it easier to explain results. Teams do not need every detail in every conversation, but they do need a shared basis.

 

  • Use consistent calculation rules
  • Explain the scope and lifecycle stages
  • Make assumptions visible
  • Be clear about data quality and limitations

Example

Sales wants to use a result, but sustainability first wants to understand how it was calculated.
